Guess Who's Not Coming to New York City?

Khalid Sheikh Mohammad, the architect of the 9/11 attacks:
Attorney General Eric Holder today will announce that self-proclaimed Sept. 11 mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammad will be tried in a military commission, CBS News has learned. A source says the commission will be held at the Guantanamo Bay prison.

Trying Mohammed in a civilian court and closing the Guantanamo prison were once some of the Obama administration’s top priorities, but political realities have hamstrung both goals.

Holder previously recommended that Mohammed and four other alleged Sept. 11 plotters be tried in New York City, but he scrapped that plan in the wake of public consternation.
I don't think "consternation" is the right word. "Outrage" is a better word. The original decision to try this maggot in New York City should have led to the firing of Eric Holder, but a civilian criminal trial was Obama's liberal pipe dream as well.  Thankfully, the public outcry shook them out of their dreamy reverie.
